Pricey but interesting. They are also releasing a 1/48 TBD-1 Devastator

It's really hard for me to get my head around the prices for these things. I guess I'm just old! Also, there must be no other way to do it as the turrets have the same vertical seam as the Monogram kits.

Both kits look good. Too bad the TBD doesn't include a twin mount .30 to do a VT-6 or VT-8 Midway TBD...

The Great Wall kit ( I have in the stash ) has the twin mount and markings for two Midway VT-8 birds one being George Gay.

I really want one but like John said, that price is a bit stupid.

I have a Monogram D in my stash. I wouldn't mind getting ahold of a Monogram J to build again someday...
Those are good enough for me.
